Biblical Eldership: An Urgent Call to Restore Biblical Church Leadership (Alexander Strauch)

Biblical Eldership

An Urgent Call to Restore Biblical Church Leadership

The most comprehensive current study in print of the role and function of elders in the New Testament church.  Strauch convincingly emphasizes the blessings and advantages of shared pastoral leadership.  He further explains in detail the leading, feeding, caring and protecting labors of elders.  For three decades now, this has been a valuable guide to instruct those in training for eldership and also men who have been serving in it for many years.

Covers qualifications, relationships with each other, and most importantly, provides a thorough study of each relevant Biblical passage.

Customer review:

“This is the best book on church leadership that I’ve ever read! In fact, we ended up ordering three dozen books for our church.  Reading this book led us to change our church constitution in 1997. If you are open-minded to exploring the model of church leadership exemplified in the New Testament, you need to read this book. Strauch also has a companion book about Deacons, which is good, but this eldership book is truly his key and foundational work for understanding church leadership.”
